Genocides and crimes against Yezidis that went on and on over the centuries were not broadly spoken of in the Western World. Not many have heard about them and not many know how much blood has washed down the Sinjar mountain – the home of this forgotten tribe.Over the centuries, Yezidis, who adore peace and respect foreigners as well as themselves have been dying in silence. Their scream and their despair have not been heard by us. Not many people know the date of 3.08.2014. It was the day when the murderous caliphate has crushed Sinjar, destroying and killing. In their wake were thousands of murdered and kidnapped people. They had no mercy or respect. Neither white hair of the elderly nor tears on the cheeks of the children were not able to move their hearts of stone. 3/8 – Forgotten genocide Another generation of Yezidis will still feel the grief and suffering.

They have managed to get their life together. Not for long though… In 2014 Sinjar was attacked by Daesh (ISIS). Yezidis had to flee. Muhanet’s mother packed the necessities and set on with her four children. They have walked for three days and three nights. Without food, barely drinking. They just wanted to get as far as they could from the barbarians. On the third night the mother has sat down to get some rest. Just few minutes later, Muhanet has closed her eyes. She has died from hunger and exhaustion. That was the moment when this young boy has become a man of the family. He struggled to get himself and his siblings to the displaced persons camp where his distant family was. He did but it did not help much.
